My ds is 12.5 mo. I have been back at work full time for a month (teacher). Ds is at nursery 2 days and looked after by grandparents and dh for the rest of the week.
On Sunday we were at pils for Sunday lunch and both bils were there with hire wives. It became apparent that ds had a the signs of conjunctivitis. Dh and I went to chemist to ask for drops but they said we would have to see gp. Ds is not allowed in nursery without drops, and was due to go on Monday, leaving us a bit stuck. My mum was ringing me offering to help even though she had ahospital appt followed by work on Monday, but it would have been too much to ask of her. I ended up taking Monday off work to see to ds and take him to drs.
Pil is retired (early 50s), mil does not work, bil had Monday off and his wife does not work either and is childless. The only people who offered to help us out we're other bil and sil who have 2 children under 2 of their own but I did not want to impose on them and risk their dds catching the infection. Aibu to think that others ils could have offered to help out. Mil did utter a lukewarm "let me know if you need me" as we were leaving but I did not get the impression she was very keen. Am I expecting too much of them?
